I don't make a habit of commenting on shell scripts what I haven't first read. But thank you all the same.
I used to use 'col' alot to resolve the tabs Vs spaces problem with different actors imposing different preferences in their source code. It's a handy tool but often overlooked.

Sorry, I should have added "if you haven't already read it", in my earlier comment.

Interesting, I may not have noticed or known about the tabs option of col. Cool. Seems it is like the entab program in an edition of the K&R C book.
